The buds I see being advertised at the 'smoke cafes' certainly aren't the .2% version. BUT ... outrageously priced also. Again, Thailand 'tourism Empire' seems to be just a continuation of their imaginary self. Thailand being one of the last places, I would visit as a regular tourist, for any reason.

Sextourist will go where it's offered, others, won't even notice it exists, with few exceptions. If not looking for it, you probably won't find or be exposed to it. Nobody drags people off the street and forces them to P4P, drink alcohol, and now, smoke ganga. Same as the party, alcohol crowd, if wanting you'll find, if not, you won't notice. Ganga will be no different. Just another silly thing for the TAT to advertise to entice as many as possible to visit TH. It's their job, and apparently, they are pretty good at it. Shy of 40 mill in 2019. Nobody avoids the museums in Amsterdam (excellent BTW), because of the ladies behind the glass or the 'tea shops'. Many, most will walk by, out of curiosity maybe and think, "that's it, that's a tourist attraction, wow, some people are just plain stupid, who would bother". Sort of fits with my opinion of 90% of the 'tourist attractions' in Thailand; overprice Nat. Park, or another Wat. Only reason to go near either, is there may be some good food vendors about. OK, saw that, did that, don't need the t-shirt, lets go get some coffee & cheesecake. I'll pick next time...dumbass Edited June 15, 2022 by KhunLA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnHans Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Thailand's bid to attract quality "high quality, high spender tourists" or is it simply "high tourists"? But joking aside it's all good. Even my Niece said she might visit and she hasn't visited in 20 years because she said she hates flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example in this article: https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40015370 Quote It is currently legal in Thailand for registered companies to sell cannabis products with less than 0.2 per cent tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana that gets people “high”. A bud would also be a product, so selling buds with more than 0.2% THC would be illegal. Edited June 15, 2022 by FriendlyFarang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let us not forget, these tourists that it attracts are the polar opposite of the type of tourist that they have been wanting to attract. A form of surrender? Well, the "tourists that they have been wanting to attract" are people from India. So far I've seen more single Indian male travelers than Indian families. I don't agree that "weed tourists" are their polar opposite, nor that "weed tourists" would spend less which is of course what the tourism sector really needs. It's silly to project that everyone that enjoys alcohol is a derelict alcoholic. Likewise, weed smokers come from all walks of life, and not everyone that smokes weed is a lazy hippie ???? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wuvu2 Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 The weed tourism market is just a small fraction of the potential benefit. Thailand's low cost of labor, land values, and lack of government taxation could set Thailand with one of the lowest cost of weed production in the world. Growing weed is no more labor intensive than growing rice, and export value would be thousands of dollars per kilo vs about a dollar for rice. The demand will grow as laws are eased globally. Add in the export of Marijuana infused foods, drinks, and oils and it'll start to add up to some real money ???? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in 20 years ago, a tourist told me about a small village in the Northeast where they sold "Thai stick". I was leaving the next day, so never got to go there. Now, I'm too scared to even think about it. Watched that movie about a guy who gets caught with drugs. No parole for drug offenses, they said in the movie. You get less time for murdering your wife in Thailand. ???? Besides, we get Purple Thai in a strain called "Flo" in America. My #1 favorite. Maui Wowie is #2. #3 is Chocolate Thai, which used to be the original Thai stick. Why the hell would I need to come to Thailand to smoke Ditch weed? ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LomSak27 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) After all the glad handing, PR pumping, happy TAT press releases, they know it is real bad.

HaoleBoy Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7098613/ pain is the main reason for medicinal cannabis use, information from dispensary websites has the potential to shape the attitude of pain patients towards cannabis. This is relevant because cannabis has demonstrated efficacy in neuropathic pain with low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentrations (< 5–10%), in contrast to potent cannabis (>15% THC), which is highly rewarded in the recreational realm So it seems in the US, across the states that allow medicinal and recreational marijuana, use "low THC" levels are between 5-10%. This is a far cry from Thailand's 0.2% THC maximum allowed level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to partake you can do so in an area with adequate signage warning those that do not wish to smoke or smell it.
